Question 50

Mathematics Determinants Medium

If \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\), then \(A^{n}\) for any natural number is

(A) \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}n & n \\ 0 & n\end{array}\right]\)
(B) \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & n \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\)
(C) \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\)
(D) None of these
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

\(A^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\) \[\] \(A^{4}=A^{2}-A^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\) \[\] By the same pattern \(A^{n}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & n \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\) \[\] Choice (B)\[\]
